About this map

The hollows and creek-side settlements of Johnson County characterize this 2013 survey, where small communities like Sitka and Chandlerville occupy the valley floors. Family lineage is deeply rooted in the landscape, evidenced by small family burial grounds such as Marvin Sparks Cem near Davisville and the Pack and Chandler Cem further south. The drainage patterns of the region are exceptionally intricate, with numerous named waterways including Burnt Cabin Br, Goose Fork, and the curiously named Tick Vanhoose Br feeding into the larger creek systems.

Remote crossings and local landmarks provide specific points for historical research, such as the Lettered Rocks formation and the settlement of Sip. The map detail traces the evolution of rural access, from established roads like Old US 23 S B to more isolated routes reaching into Broad Hollow and Barn Hollow. This documentation reflects a modern Appalachian landscape where traditional place names and family land holdings persist alongside contemporary transportation corridors.
